Art Stage Singapore
Art fair held between 2011 and 2019
Art Stage Singapore was an Asian contemporary art fair held every January in Singapore with a focus on Southeast Asian art.
History
Art Stage Singapore was founded by Lorenzo Rudolf.[1] Rudolf initially rejected a proposal to launch Art Basel in Singapore in 1992 but later revisited the idea of creating a unique Asian art fair. The fair took nine years to be realized. The first edition was held in 2011 at Marina Bay Sands.
The cancellation of the 2019 edition of the fair, which was understood to be a commercial decision, left the future of the fair in doubt. The National Arts Council, Singapore Tourism Board and Economic Development Board, who have supported the fair since its inception in 2011, released a joint statement after the cancellation saying that they were "disappointed that Art Stage Singapore has cancelled the 2019 edition of its fair."[2][3][4][5]
